Future, the - how to look ahead to it

11/11/2018

For most people, thinking of the future means wondering what their life will be like in ten, twenty or maybe fifty years time. Well, that is all pretty poor. These concerns are far too short-sighted and of no great interest. The true future for humankind, and the only one worth concerning ourselves with, is that one day we will shine like the sun, that the universe will be fragrant with our presence, that the air will be filled with the fragrance of our soul and that everywhere we go, music will be heard because all our cells are singing. Every day, for a few minutes at least, imagine this distant future and all at once you will feel hope, courage and life return. It is this faith in a magical future that will make a new being of you. We hear the word ‘new’ used everywhere nowadays: a new philosophy, a new science, a new century, a new era, new human beings, and so on. But how can we imagine that humankind will one day be new if we do not work for this sublime future?
